The worst form of biofuel madness. This is not to say that biofule is mad. The Brazilians have got it right...the Americans have not. <BR/><BR/>Now....PNG/Rabual...my concern on this one is that the price of Bounty Bars in the UK will rise. That will make me very cross indeed.

There's doesn't seem to be much of a trade off - beside using corn for fuel when much of the worlk is starving seems a waste.
